DePaul, 14-0, was second and Kentucky, 14-2, that got one first-place was third. Georgetown, 15-2, and Mary land, 13-2, each climbed two places into the top five.

Hockey officio threatens U.S. United Press International TORONTO — Canada’s chief international hockey nego tiator fired the latest salvo in an escalating battle between the American and Canadian Olym pic teams Sunday, saying some U.S. players may have to return their hockey gold medals won at the 1980 Olympics. Alan Eagleson said the ever increasing possibility of a U.S. protest over the eligibility of three Canadian Olympians who may have signed NHL contracts was ludicrous, considering the American squad may have been guilty of the same practice four years ago. “We have some information that might indicate that some U.S. players had agreed to terms and to an NHL contract before the 1980 Olympics,” he said. “That is a technical violation of the same type the U.S. is saying we have violated . If they did (agree to contracts), they may have to return the gold medals.” Eagleson, who says the U.S. team's goal is to weaken danada for their opening game of the Olympic tournament, com plained the Canadian squad has come under a lot of unfair scru tiny of late. “If the true definition of amateur were applied to the players from the other coun tries, you would wind up with no one being eligible,” he said. “We’re more pure than any team in the Olympics, other than the U.S.” Eagleson believes some recent pressure applied to the Cana dian squad from the NCAA, the governing body of U,S.iii ~ ate athletit s, came aslliti V ol 78 r of some prodding from Olympic team officials, “We were informed IjB NCAA last week ihaitliti| consider our team taiiKj some of our players mayji able to return to a co ” in the Lhiited Stalesafiel Olympics,” he said. lympics, "What they’re tryingj scare some of our players like (Bruce) Driver,(Pat)i!
